It is cheap tube warmth, for poor people. The real tube warmth means absence of high order distortions, especially of crossover type ones that grow up with lowering of a signal level. Such a "warmth" can't be added by any additions, be it a tube, or transformer, or whatelse.

It is impossible to add absence of some types of errors.
